+# StructLayoutToolkitCodec
+
+`sltcodec` encodes and decodes bytearrays according to structured layout definitions. It uses `sltcore` for bit-level access.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install sltcodec
+```
+
+## Quick Example
+
+`StructLayout` bundles the root structure name with its `TypeDict`. Pass the same layout to both `encode` and `decode`.
+
+```python
+from sltcore import InfoSize
+from sltcodec import (
+    FieldDef,
+    FieldInstance,
+    StructDef,
+    StructInstance,
+    StructLayout,
+    TypeDict,
+    decode,
+    encode,
+)
+
+fields = [
+    FieldDef(name="flag", offset=InfoSize(0, 0), size=InfoSize(0, 1), type="bool"),
+    FieldDef(name="value", offset=InfoSize(0, 1), size=InfoSize(1, 0), type="unsigned int"),
+]
+struct_def = StructDef(name="Packet", fields=fields)
+layout = StructLayout(
+    struct_def_name="Packet",
+    type_dict=TypeDict(struct_dict={"Packet": struct_def}),
+)
+instance = StructInstance(
+    struct_def=struct_def,
+    field_instances=[
+        FieldInstance(fields[0], True),
+        FieldInstance(fields[1], 0xA5),
+    ],
+)
+
+encoded = encode(layout, instance, bytearray())
+decoded = decode(layout, encoded)
+```
+
+## Field Types
+
+The public `PRIMITIVE_TYPES` set contains:
+
+```python
+{"bool", "signed int", "int", "unsigned int", "float", "bytearray", "bytes"}
+```
+
+`FieldDef.type` may also be a nested `StructDef` or an expression string. Expressions can use values from previously processed fields, allowing dynamic types and sizes. Repeated fields, byte swapping, padding, ranges, and enum metadata are supported.
+
+## Enums And Named Structures
+
+Store named structures in `TypeDict.struct_dict` and enums in `TypeDict.enum_dict`. A field refers to an enum by its `enum_def_name`; the codec resolves it through `StructLayout.type_dict`.
+
+```python
+| `__lt__(other)` | Compare enum definitions using their serialized ordering. |
+from sltcore import InfoSize
+from sltcodec import EnumDef, FieldDef, StructDef, StructLayout, TypeDict, decode
+
+enum_def = EnumDef(name="Status", values={"OK": 0, "NG": 1})
+packet = StructDef(
+    name="Packet",
+    fields=[FieldDef(
+        name="status",
+        offset=InfoSize(0, 0),
+        size=InfoSize(1, 0),
+        type="unsigned int",
+        enum_def_name="Status",
+    )],
+)
+layout = StructLayout(
+    struct_def_name="Packet",
+    type_dict=TypeDict(
+        struct_dict={"Packet": packet},
+        enum_dict={"Status": enum_def},
+    ),
+)
+
+decoded = decode(layout, bytearray(b"\x01"))
+| `__lt__(other)` | Compare field definitions using their serialized ordering. |
+assert decoded.field_instances[0].enum_item == ("NG", 1)
+```
+
+## Saving And Loading
+
+Persist a complete `StructLayout`, including its root structure name, structure definitions, and enum definitions, with `save_struct_layout` and `load_struct_layout`.
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from sltcodec import load_struct_layout, save_struct_layout
+
+path = Path("struct_layout.json")
+save_struct_layout(layout, path)
+loaded = load_struct_layout(path)
+| `__lt__(other)` | Compare field instances using field-definition order. |
+assert loaded == layout
+```
+
+`InfoSize` values are stored as typed JSON dictionaries. Expression-based offsets and sizes remain strings and are evaluated when the layout is used.

+# StructLayoutToolkitCodec Development
+
+This repository contains `sltcodec`, a Python package for encoding and
+decoding bytearrays according to structured layout definitions.
+
+The package description and user-facing API examples used for PyPI are in
+[README_pypi.md](README_pypi.md).
+
+## Development Setup
+
+This project requires Python 3.12 or newer and uses `uv` for dependency and
+environment management.
+
+```bash
+uv sync --all-extras
+```
+
+The project also keeps a local virtual environment at `.venv` when using the
+standard `uv` workflow.
+
+## Run Tests
+
+Run the complete test suite:
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+Run a focused test module:
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest tests/test_codec.py -q
+uv run pytest tests/test_types.py -q
+uv run pytest tests/test_persistence.py -q
+```
+
+Tests are organized by responsibility:
+
+- `tests/test_codec.py`: encoding, decoding, padding, repetition, and byte swapping
+- `tests/test_types.py`: field, enum, structure, and instance behavior
+- `tests/test_persistence.py`: `StructLayout` JSON persistence
+
+## Source Layout
+
+```text
+src/sltcodec/
+    __init__.py    Public package exports
+    codec.py       Encoding, decoding, and layout persistence
+    types.py       Field, enum, structure, and layout types
+tests/             Pytest test modules
+```
+
+## Public API Changes
+
+`encode` and `decode` receive one `StructLayout` object. The structure
+definition is resolved by `struct_layout.struct_def_name` from
+`struct_layout.type_dict.struct_dict`; enum definitions are resolved from the
+same `TypeDict`.
+
+Layout persistence uses the explicit names `save_struct_layout` and
+`load_struct_layout`. The former `save_type_dict` and `load_type_dict` API is
+not part of the current public interface.
+
+## Versioning And Release
+
+Version bump scripts are provided for patch, minor, and major releases:
+
+```powershell
+.\bump_patch.ps1
+.\bump_minor.ps1
+.\bump_major.ps1
+```
+
+Review the generated version change and run the full test suite before
+building or publishing a package.
+
+## Build
+
+The package uses Hatchling as its build backend. The package metadata points
+to `README_pypi.md` so the PyPI project page contains the consumer-facing
+documentation rather than repository development notes.
+
+```bash
+uv build
+```

+# StructLayoutToolkitCodec
+
+`sltcodec` encodes and decodes bytearrays according to structured layout definitions. It uses `sltcore` for bit-level access.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install sltcodec
+```
+
+## Quick Example
+
+`StructLayout` bundles the root structure name with its `TypeDict`. Pass the same layout to both `encode` and `decode`.
+
+```python
+from sltcore import InfoSize
+from sltcodec import (
+    FieldDef,
+    FieldInstance,
+    StructDef,
+    StructInstance,
+    StructLayout,
+    TypeDict,
+    decode,
+    encode,
+)
+
+fields = [
+    FieldDef(name="flag", offset=InfoSize(0, 0), size=InfoSize(0, 1), type="bool"),
+    FieldDef(name="value", offset=InfoSize(0, 1), size=InfoSize(1, 0), type="unsigned int"),
+]
+struct_def = StructDef(name="Packet", fields=fields)
+layout = StructLayout(
+    struct_def_name="Packet",
+    type_dict=TypeDict(struct_dict={"Packet": struct_def}),
+)
+instance = StructInstance(
+    struct_def=struct_def,
+    field_instances=[
+        FieldInstance(fields[0], True),
+        FieldInstance(fields[1], 0xA5),
+    ],
+)
+
+encoded = encode(layout, instance, bytearray())
+decoded = decode(layout, encoded)
+```
+
+## Field Types
+
+The public `PRIMITIVE_TYPES` set contains:
+
+```python
+{"bool", "signed int", "int", "unsigned int", "float", "bytearray", "bytes"}
+```
+
+`FieldDef.type` may also be a nested `StructDef` or an expression string. Expressions can use values from previously processed fields, allowing dynamic types and sizes. Repeated fields, byte swapping, padding, ranges, and enum metadata are supported.
+
+## Enums And Named Structures
+
+Store named structures in `TypeDict.struct_dict` and enums in `TypeDict.enum_dict`. A field refers to an enum by its `enum_def_name`; the codec resolves it through `StructLayout.type_dict`.
+
+```python
+| `__lt__(other)` | Compare enum definitions using their serialized ordering. |
+from sltcore import InfoSize
+from sltcodec import EnumDef, FieldDef, StructDef, StructLayout, TypeDict, decode
+
+enum_def = EnumDef(name="Status", values={"OK": 0, "NG": 1})
+packet = StructDef(
+    name="Packet",
+    fields=[FieldDef(
+        name="status",
+        offset=InfoSize(0, 0),
+        size=InfoSize(1, 0),
+        type="unsigned int",
+        enum_def_name="Status",
+    )],
+)
+layout = StructLayout(
+    struct_def_name="Packet",
+    type_dict=TypeDict(
+        struct_dict={"Packet": packet},
+        enum_dict={"Status": enum_def},
+    ),
+)
+
+decoded = decode(layout, bytearray(b"\x01"))
+| `__lt__(other)` | Compare field definitions using their serialized ordering. |
+assert decoded.field_instances[0].enum_item == ("NG", 1)
+```
+
+## Saving And Loading
+
+Persist a complete `StructLayout`, including its root structure name, structure definitions, and enum definitions, with `save_struct_layout` and `load_struct_layout`.
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from sltcodec import load_struct_layout, save_struct_layout
+
+path = Path("struct_layout.json")
+save_struct_layout(layout, path)
+loaded = load_struct_layout(path)
+| `__lt__(other)` | Compare field instances using field-definition order. |
+assert loaded == layout
+```
+
+`InfoSize` values are stored as typed JSON dictionaries. Expression-based offsets and sizes remain strings and are evaluated when the layout is used.

+### Codec (`codec.py`)
+
+The following public definitions are listed in their definition order. Names
+beginning with `_` are internal helpers and are not part of the public API.
+
+| Definition | Signature | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `PRIMITIVE_TYPES` | `set[str]` | Built-in field type names. |
+| `save_struct_layout` | `(struct_layout, path) -> None` | Save a layout to a JSON file. |
+| `load_struct_layout` | `(path) -> StructLayout` | Load a layout from a JSON file. |
+| `save_struct_def_dict` | `(path, struct_def_dict) -> None` | Save a structure-definition dictionary through the layout format. |
+| `load_struct_def_dict` | `(path) -> dict[str, StructDef]` | Load a structure-definition dictionary. |
+| `save_enum_def_dict` | `(path, enum_def_dict) -> None` | Save an enum-definition dictionary through the layout format. |
+| `load_enum_def_dict` | `(path) -> dict[str, EnumDef]` | Load an enum-definition dictionary. |
+| `encode` | `(struct_layout, struct_instance, buf, padding_alignment_bits=32) -> bytearray` | Encode a complete structure. |
+| `decode_field` | `(field_def, data, env=None, type_dict=None, padding_alignment_bits=32) -> FieldInstance \| None` | Decode one field. |
+| `decode` | `(struct_layout, data, padding_alignment_bits=32) -> StructInstance` | Decode a complete structure. |
+
+`save_struct_def_dict`, `load_struct_def_dict`, `save_enum_def_dict`, and
+`load_enum_def_dict` are available from `sltcodec.codec` for dictionary-level
+compatibility. The package root exports the complete `StructLayout` API:
+`save_struct_layout` and `load_struct_layout`.
